Well, since there are some who believe that LCW will take that MS and KKK/TBH the MD gold respectively, I must say I am not at all surprise with your predictions.
And X Ball better come out with a better one! Otherwise we think he's not serious about his predictions on his MAS favourites.
, uncle Loh not serious, in joking mood also, look Spore Open thread. My prediction : MS : LCW or PSH (he was already dangerous without LM, more dangerous with Li Mao ) MD : Lee/Jung are favourities, dark horses : 1) Denmark younger uncles, Lars/Jonas (managed to beat Lee/Jung in TC, Europe uncles still have tricks up their sleeves that confuse Asia young guns) 2) Fu/Cai, home ground advantage and....2nd China pair Xie/Guo can beat Lee/Jung in India Open, China coaches seem to have found formula to beat Korea MD. All the above of course, is assuming they meet Lee/Jung in final WS : Tine R, break the great wall gal. WD : China, doesnt matter which one XD : Nova/Liliyana
Alright, I'll put in my 2 (sometimes unrealistic) cents: MS: Predict - Gotta be LD (CHN). Wish - LCW (MAS) MD: Predict - LYD/JJY (KOR). Wish - JR/LP (DEN) WS: Predict - Tine (DEN). Wish - JJY (KOR) WD: Predict - Lee/Lee (KOR). Wish - same XD: Predict - GL/ZB (CHN). Wish - Emms/Robertson (ENG) According to my predictions, CHN and KOR win 2 golds each and DEN comes away with one. Tine's recent form has been a little worrying actually.
I will not be that person who laughs first then laughs last. LCW has fuelled every bit of my imagination of what a Gold Medallist would be and he is the ultimate in badminton today. Why do I think these players will not win : LD has lost his desire - too much of the good stuff; although BAO has the desire, he is not as good; so if I think TH, I will be laughed at; Chen Jin, he will always have to play 2nd fiddle to LD; PG gets cramps more often now; LHI and PSH have got Li MAO's pressure and cannot win; the rest, you can write your story about them.
Only XD and MD are the biggest chance for Indonesia badminton to continue gold tradition at Beijing Games meanwhile the other three are too hard to be realized.
If LD should be knocked out in the early rounds and CJ remained standing, CJ then need not play second fiddle to LD and the way would be open for him to do his natural stuff. CJ would then be free from his burden (of having to implement LYB's popular strategy ) and then LYB had to focuss on him since his favourite LD could not be counted upon to take the title on home soil! LYB would give his last ounce of nervous energy to support CJ at the coach's corner to counter Li Mao's Korean prodigy, now at the opposite end of CJ. But LM would continuously frustrate LYB as the latter's every move was anticipated, nullified and overcome. LYB was at his end's wits and could only witness his last China hope torn to bits and pieces and the inevitable would happen. He wanted to lash out at LM but pulled back his urge as he knew the whole world would be watching! The top China leaders had reminded that they had to show the best face possible to the world and that China is a friend to all. LYB had no alternative but to behave as a model ambassador! But where are the others? Surely we can't discount them?
my updated prediction; MS: LD or maybe LCW MD: JJS/LYD WS: TR or XXF WD: JJW/YW XD: ZB/GL maybe NW/LN
Aiyah, X Ball surely you know the ball is round, you'll never know. Even the shuttlecocks don't always fly one direction. History has recorded that Ronald Susilo beat LD at the last Athens Olympics and so embarrassed LD and LYB. Who is to say Ronald can't repeat history? Then you should thank RS for knocking out LD again to pave the way for LCW, no LYB-style match-fixing though. Thereafter who is to say that RS cannot advance further? Anyway, are you coming down to SO this time? Satay and beer on me, provided you don't drive back home.
You see X Ball, even my young jimbo is happy to host you as well. There is no further excuse from you. And you get to met our Pretty Rudy as well!
Satay and Beer: For Loh, X Ball and jimbo . It's great know that Loh, X Ball and jimbo would be sharing Satay and Beer again. .
team china are favorites but the immense pressure on them means alot of them are going to falter be it at the early stages or at the last hurdle
wah, now we are talking about who will win the beijing golds at bejing olyimpic , u guys seems to talking about satay and beer??? any satay for me?? HAHA
Must Be No.1 Indo's Pair... BUTET/NOVA.... twice getting world champion... more than enough to prove their selves as the strongest...LUV LILYANA SO MUCH....
